Honduras has to make up 12 goals. Tie at T&T and we're fine. Pulisic is a man amongst boys......at 19. Good Lord.

2 wins from them and they finish ahead of us if we don't win. They won't win both so tie should do the trick as we have goal difference on them and Panama.

I marvel at the kid. He was so good yesterday. The goal was world class with the poise and patience. The assist was even better.

They're not going to win twice, but yeah, you're right. Tie against T&T and we're in 4th though, because Panama would have to make up 6 goals on us to overtake us, which they won't against Costa Rica. Australia tied Syria in the first leg of their home and home in Malaysia. Next leg is in Australia so you have to bet the Socceroos win it.

Honduras gives up as late a goal as possible to put themselves in serious jeopardy. A tie and we advance. I'll say a loss and we advance to playoff but I believe that we will win. I think Panama beats a Coasta Rica team that has qualified.

I'm pained for the real soccer fans in this thread (which everyone is). But I wonder how many of the people yammering on the phones to sportstalk radio this morning about how embarrasing/disaster this is, even watched the game, or even knew it was going on at the time.

He did the obvious thing--and took longer than he should have taken to do it, but it's done. Changing the outlook of the USSF is the hard part and takes so much impetus from the top. (Hmm, we Tulane fans know something about that.) There is a mountain of work to whittle down during the next few months. I hope we get it mostly right.
